The Movie Crypt

Filmmakers Adam Green (FROZEN, the HATCHET franchise), Joe Lynch (MAYHEM, EVERLY), and Arwen the Yorkie host this inspirational and educational program that offers a fully comprehensive look at the entertainment industry, the artistic process, and the enduring struggle of not giving up on your dreams. By candidly sharing their own trials and tribulations in Hollywood, Adam and Joe create an extremely honest and heartfelt dialogue with their guests. The hilarious, heartbreaking, and therapeutic “artist on artist” conversations focus on each guest’s individual journey and the various hurdles they have personally faced and conquered along the way. With guests ranging from Academy Award winners, entertainment icons, and A-list celebrities… to cinematographers, editors, studio executives, and countless other crucial positions not typically featured in the spotlight, an average episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT offers more insight for navigating the entertainment industry than an entire semester of film school. Hailed by Entertainment Weekly magazine as “one of the top 20 podcasts you should be listening to” [Issue #1345], a new episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT has been released every single Monday without fail since the day the podcast launched on May 6, 2013.

HALL OF FAME: Kim Coates (Ep. 196) 2.27.17 Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

When Kim Coates (SONS OF ANARCHY, WATER WORLD, BAD BLOOD) visited the ArieScope studio to record with us back in 2017 it was a dream come true. Kim rode in on his motorcycle and it felt exactly like "Tig Trager" himself was coming to see us straight from a SAMCRO meeting. We didn't know whether to cheer in excitement or cower in fear because one of us was about to "meet Mr. Mayhem." This truly classic episode is just... phenomenal.

Dr. Arwen provides emotional support for a patient with location issues, all three guys share stories from the making of POINT BLANK, and Markice opens up about a dark time in his life where he almost checked out for good in this touching conversation.

Legendary make-up artist Jennifer Aspinall (STREET TRASH, THE TOXIC AVENGER, MAD TV) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss her career journey. From a young child enamored with the art of illusion… to working in live theater at an incredibly young age… to creating the special make-up effects that would turn films like STREET TRASH and THE TOXIC AVENGER into genre classics and thus turn herself into one of the true icons of her field … to the work ethic that has kept her doing exactly what she loves for 4 decades… Jennifer has paved her own path and defied boundaries by keeping her head down, eyes forward, and working hard. Dr. Arwen advises a writer just how personal to get in their work, Joe gets the answers he was looking about "penis football," and the guys debate the demise of "thoughts and prayers."
